We have been watching this go on for more than a decade
Ask any teacher. Parents refuse to make their children accept responsibility for anything. In fact, these parents rush to "protect" the kids and make up excuses for them
There is no discipline and the kids have never learned self control
The "new" child rearing philosophies have been an abject failure

  To make matters worse, even if the teacher had the ability to defend herself, if so much a nick was placed on the child, the teacher would lose her job and be sued by the parents.

    This just happened in Baltimore:
    Baltimore Teacher Beaten by Student, Caught on Film
    An art teacher at Baltimore's Reginald F. Lewis High School was beaten by a student and a fellow classmate caught the attack on a video phone and posted the images on MySpace
    Jolita Berry said that she had told a student to sit down and behave last Friday and moments later the student jumped on top of her and began throwing punches. According to Berry other students cheered their classmate on and the abuse continued until teachers were able to pull the student off.

    When I was in school, this would have resulted in being expelled. I can't even imagine what the reaction of my parents would have been! I know it would not have been a pleasant experience
